## Installation

Install the stable release from CRAN:

install_github("stephenturner/qqman", ref="dev")
```

Load the package each time you use it:

```r
library(qqman)
```

## Usage

See the [online package vignette](https://cran.r-project.org/package=qqman/vignettes/qqman.html) for more examples:

```r
browseVignettes("qqman")
```

Take a look at the built-in data:

```r
head(gwasResults)
```

Basic manhattan plot using built-in data:

```r
manhattan(gwasResults)
```

Basic Q-Q plot using built-in data:

```r
qq(gwasResults$P)
```

Get help:

```r
?manhattan
?qq
```

## Notes

* This release is substantially simplified for the sake of maintainability and creating an R package. The old code that allows confidence intervals on the Q-Q plot and allows more flexible annotation and highlighting is still available at the [version 0.0.0 tag](https://github.com/stephenturner/qqman/tree/v0.0.0).
* Special thanks to Dan Capurso and Tim Knutsen for useful contributions and bugfixes.
* Thanks to all the blog commenters for pointing out bugs and other issues.
